The document presents a moral analysis of a medical intervention performed at St. Joseph’s Hospital involving a 27-year-old woman with severe pulmonary hypertension who was eleven weeks pregnant. Despite the high risk to her life, she chose not to terminate the pregnancy initially. However, her condition worsened, leading to right heart failure and cardiogenic shock, endangering both her life and that of the fetus. The Ethics Committee determined that a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure to address the placental issue was morally justifiable under Catholic teaching, as it aimed to save the mother's life rather than directly terminate the pregnancy. The analysis emphasizes that the death of the fetus was not intended and occurred as an unavoidable consequence of saving the mother, aligning with principles from Catholic moral tradition.
